I Want it All

niriniaThis is a rant about fashion, and my plans for surviving winter without too many colds. Ignore if you're that way inclined.
I love military jackets with all my heart, and this season's versions has me dying. Burberry's coats (and their shearling leather aviator jackets, don't get me started). I missed out on Balmain's iconic military jacket, and still long for it. And so, when Kristine and I walked into Eger and rounded the corner where Marc Jacobs's coats hung, we looked at each other and collapsed. It was perfectly 'Soviet Russia'. Just look at it. For god's sake, it is beautiful. The details, the fit, the length, aaah.
But I really can't buy another expensive thing I don't desperately need, so I'll stick with the coat I bought last year. I'm saving for New York. Where they sell Kirkwoods. And to keep my feet dry and reasonably warm, I need a pair of sturdy boots. I want them big, bad and ugly, the only way to go. Frye make sturdy boots, though some models are a bit too cowboy for me.
Kristine, I was right: the perfect cashmere leopard print scarf exists. Made by Yves Saint Laurent, and it is more expensive than your coat. I'll go back to pretending Net-A-Porter does not exist, when I've given you the link. Leopard print is another passion, which coincides nicely with A/W 2010. My beloved leopard print ballerina flats are falling apart, so I clearly need something else I can wear to death.

I can't really afford things like that scarf either, but I plot, and save and look at it for so long I finally cave in and get it. Or I cross my fingers and hold out for the january sales. But I have far too expensive tastes, I'm hopeless. Therefore, I must now go back to pretending Net-A-Porter does not exist. XD
